Salary Threshold Checker
General salary thresholds reflect current rules. Occupation-group rates are indicative only; confirm the exact SOC code and going rate with the official GOV.UK rates.
About salary thresholds
From April 2024, the UK government increased the general salary threshold for Skilled Worker visas from £26,200 to £41,700 from July 2025. The required salary is the higher of this threshold and the going rate for the specific occupation code.
| Route | Minimum floor | Reduced rate |
|---|---|---|
| Skilled Worker | £41,700 | £33,400 |
| Health & Care Worker | £25,000 | Varies by role |
The actual minimum salary for your role may be higher than the general threshold if the “going rate” for your specific occupation code exceeds it. Always check the going rate for your SOC code.
